I love my ortho account but I have only two doctors and know sm
them like the back of my hand.

I have been at KS for about 8 months. The account was frustrating at first because the client has a lot of their own rules and they are very picky. Once I had them down, about a week and a half, I started to fly through the work. I love working with the ortho lead, Cheryl, too, so that makes it easier. She is one of those people that works so hard and is so nice that you want to make her happy.
They have Scribe and Allscripts for Ortho. Both are internet based and easy to use. sm
I should mention that I do not know if those are the only two, but I think they are the majority of the accounts.
love ortho work
Me too!  I am looking for only orthopedic transcription work!
I work Ortho and love it!!!

I always have more than enough work, pay on time, lead is wonderful....very few ESLs....my work is assigned, not pooled, so that helps not having to fight others for work...


I work on the ortho accounts and love it...
I wouldn't necessarily say she is strict, but she wants people to do their job...same as any other supervisor...I love it and my leads/supervisor are fantastic!!!!
Try applying to Keystrokes...I do ortho for them and I love it...

Keystrokes does. I am on an ortho account that is sm
busy, consistent and very well run.  I know that they are getting more of the centers with this group.  I have been there since February and plan on staying until I retire.
Depends on the account but most of them for ortho are on the sm
Scribe platform. I found it to be easy to learn and really like working in it.
Keystrokes -ortho account

Does anyone have any info on Keystrokes ortho accounts?  Have you worked on them or tested with them for an ortho position?  What is the testing like?  Thanks!


 


 


I tested for Ortho account
I tested for an ortho account and had 1 blank but they did not hire me. I thought I did good.
on my account, which is ortho, I had to have my own equipment...
but that only requires a foot pedal...someone else just posted that you can use a C-phone from them if needed but other than that you need your own equipment...
I lasted one job on their ortho account
was told right up front, first sentence by the trainer that the system was very intricate and difficult; she was right - 50+ page manual just on how to access the system (four separate systems to log into before you could retrieve a file). No samples given because prior reports can be accessed through one of the systems (and who wants to spend all their time searching through old records to find canned text?). I thought I could rock it with 16+ years experience but said no thank you after completing the first file. I will say one of my fellow MTs works there on a Bayscribe account and had wonderful things to say about the company - it was just my bad luck to run into an account with a horrible very unfriendly MT system.
I work on Scribe and I love it...
very easy to get good line count and very user friendly...
I am on an internet account for Keystrokes. It is ortho but my
friend is on a clinic account that is internet for them.
I work on an ortho account. Keystrokes is just wonderful! They will help you in every way possible
and seem to really care about each person.  They have been very good to me and I am very thankful to have a job with such a great company!
Keystrokes--Ortho account IC status. Anyone know what the pay is?? Thinking of applying. Thanks
nm
Keystrokes has great ortho accounts and a wonderful manager over the ortho work. sm
I have worked with them for 4 years and will never leave unless something drastically changes. I do not post here normally as it seems that there are so many negative people, but this is one I felt I could answer without being attacked.
I have been there for 1 year now...love the account I'm on but....(sm)
this summer my account was running low on several occasions.  I have been trying to get a second account since July and I can't get one.  I would be making great money there too if I had a backup account.  Today I had a grand total of 543 lines, yesterday was 948.  I can't live on that so if it doesn't improve I will have to look elsewhere. I love the place too and do NOT want to leave but obviously I need more than 543 lines in a day.
I would love to write a letter to the account I used to be on
and tell them that their work is being sent to Vietnam now. I know for a fact that they have already threatened to take the account away from SPI due to major issues with TAT. I'm sure if they knew about Vietnam that would be the last straw. Tempting.
I was down about the account last week but now love it. It was easy to get used to. The first sm
day was really rough, the second was a just as bad but 2 weeks into it and I really like it. My counts are good too, averaging right around 1400 lines a day, which is good for these old fingers. Docuscribe is great, but I have worked on it before for the big Q.
GOOD GRIEF -Love my company/account, Hate MedRite! Any help?
I love the company I work for, pay, schedule, account.  It has it all.  But they use MedRite.  This is awful!  Was this actually designed for an MT?  This is complicated, SO much mouse-clicking, and so SLOOOW - I am boring myself to sleep.  Typing is easy and quick but moving from report to report - Good Grief!  Is there anyone who has used this?  Are there any tips you could give me? 
QT gets my vote! I love it! Gross line pay, on time, 1 account, steady work! Great place!!!! nm

Ortho with KS
What's the ortho like with KS?  I've heard that the supervisor is very strict and makes it a difficult situation.  Just wanted to check before applying.  I am not looking for a job that will just be a lot of grief and torment.
Ortho help

Although I have been doing transcription for quite some time, I am relatively new ot ortho. I must admit I do enjoy it; however, my productivity leaves a lot to be desired.


Each report is different. No Lungs are clear. Heart is regular, you get the drift.


Any ortho MTs out there with any suggesions?


Thank you (as always)!


Janie


Ortho
As with any new specialty, your line count is going to be down at first but with a little time and patience and good use of your expander, you'll see it go back up and will know most of the terms he's going to say before he actually says them.
Ortho

Thank you to everyone!


I am relativley new to this board.


I have posted several times in the past and am always astounded people  take the time to help with their advice.


(Message n ot even on correct board..........oops)


Thanks again!


Janie


ortho

In ortho, there are a lot of two and three word combinations like tenderness to palpation and thoracic spine.  I would abbreviate these things in my shorthand.  Sentences that were repeated often, I would put the first letter of each word and put that sentence in my shorhand.  I used ShortHand just as much in ortho as in HPs and consults.


were you in ortho?
I am and often do OT but I need/want the money so I volunteer.
That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
One of their ortho accounts (sm)
I spent more time going in and out of documents than I did transcribing on one of their ortho accounts.  Nice people tho. 
ortho or podiatry
Does any know of any company that is hiring for orthopedic or podiatry accounts?  
I would like to do ortho work too
nm
I have almost 9 years of ortho and I
when they called. When I returned the call, I was told that We did have 3 openings when I called you but it's first come, first served and you missed out.

I was told that at 1 pm today and now I see they have a job posting for 12 ortho MTs.
On the ortho accounts, about how many SM

minutes per day do you get from your doctor(s)?  After you get used to account specs, is it pretty easy to get the work done in 8 hours?  Also, are there a lot of ESLs, because I'm terrible with ESLs.  (Are they clinic notes, op notes, consults, or all of the above?)


About what time do you get your work and when is it due back?


Are the benefits okay?  How much for medical and dental for employee only?  When do they start?


Thanks for your help! :o)


KS wannabe


Ortho Pay Per Page
These were orthopedic doctors that I was charging $3.00 per page.  Two types of notes.  One was a progress note and the other new patient was in letter form.  I typed them in Word, so I made templates.  They usually put an entire day of patients on one tape.  It was only a matter of choosing the appropriate template.  My experience with ortho clinic is they are fairly short dictations.  I'll put it to you this way if I had to choose it would be per page because the dictations are usually very short.  Ortho docs see a lot of patients in one day and even if they are a new patient most will not go into a lot of detail regarding past medical history, etc.  They mainly focus on symptoms, the exam, and then the diagnosis and treatment.  Glad I could help. 
Considering Keystrokes...ortho
Any current information would be great!  I am wondering about the work load, dictators and how steady the work is?  TIA
Although I don't type ortho...
I am very satisfied with the amount of work. I have a secondary account, but my primary account provides more work than I can do in a day. The office staff is helpful. There are no ESL dictators on my primary account, and I never have to send work in with blanks. Again, I cannot comment on any specific ortho account, as I do not type ortho. Hopefully someone who does type ortho with Keystrokes can fill you in more in that regard.
Ortho acct
i have been offered ortho, which i have a great deal of experience. How much would you say per hour you make at 7.5 WI spaces. I really have a lot of quesstions and if possible would like to e-mail you direct. Also can the ShortHand program be used
The ortho manager IS the BEST!
Best manager (and company) I've worked for in over ten years.
Ortho Accounts???
Any experience with their ortho accounts?  Is it easy to make lines or do you have to fill in a lot of demo info? 
Ortho transcription

Did someone really advertise 6.5 cpl with experience.  UNBELIEVABLE!! That is less than I made when I started 23 years ago.

ortho at DocuMed and pay
Can anyone tell me anything about about the ortho positions at DocuMed and how their pay is?  Do they pay on time?  Direct deposit?  Help if needed?
This is what I have on DocuMed ortho.

Resume sent (date).  Test sent to me (date).  Test was too long.  Never apply again.  This lady wants to call my account contacts and sends an old e-mail from back in February 2007 for testing.  Dictators are horrible.  Hope this helps some.  Pay on ad was 9 cpl.
